Peanut Butter & Jelly Snack Bites

Quickly popping in today to share a recipe for a yummy snack I made myself yesterday. Have you guys every had the peanut butter & jelly Larabars? They’re amazing. Unfortunately, I can only find the flavor in a couple stores around Boston so I decided to make my own version in ball form. Same ingredients, but of course in slightly different proportions as I have no way of knowing Larabar’s exact recipe. You’ll just need 4 ingredients and 10 minutes. Bam!

About the taste: The unsweetened cherries give these a little tart kick to complement the sweetness of the dates. I love it — it’s like that addicting zing you get in the back corners of your mouth when you eat salt & vinegar chips (weird comparison, I know haha). If you don’t like that tartness, you can always just use fewer cherries, adding an equal amount of dates to replace them.

I made these yesterday and they’re delicious! They taste just like pb and j! I’ve never had the larabars, so I can’t comment on the comparison there, but these really are delightful and I’m going to be happy snacking. Thanks! 🙂
